  - Anyone not in a developed country? -- nm - spamlet Aug 4, 18:12 2
    - Surely you're not arguing that vaccines that will expire within two weeks should be sent overseas rather than purchasing new doses to send? -- nm - mara Aug 5, 06:12
    - this is the "eat your food, kids are starving in Africa" argument - Reagen Aug 4, 18:56
